It was reported earlier this week that there could be a break in the case of missing Holly Bobo in Parsons, TN. A neighborhood dog had found a purseWednesday in the hills of western Tennessee that was believed to be that of the missing nursing student Holly Bobo. This prompted a spark in the case to search for new clues. Could this possibly be the break that investigators needed to help find Holly Bobo? However, now the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation is stating that the mother of Holly Bobo is saying the purse does not belong to her missing daughter.

Tennessee investigators and the mother of a nursing student missing for two years say a purse found this week is not that of Holly Bobo.

Tennessee Bureau of Investigation spokeswoman Kristin Helm said Friday that Bobo’s mother had seen just a photo of the purse two days ago and thought it was her daughter’s. But after seeing it in person Friday, Karen Bobo said it wasn’t.
